SAP HANA, Express Edition is a scaled down version of the HANA product that can run on laptops and other resource-constrained hosts, such as cloud-hosted virtual machines. The product is free to use for in-memory databases up to 32GB of RAM.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/F7/Kp/032VN2TB2UNT.PNGSAPSAP HANA Express Edition - Hyperloop to Run Simple2018-09-21T18:10:18.868ZUsed it for a proof of concept for one of our greenfield clients. This is for a learning platform implementation for a small organization. This was about a year ago, and we completed the proof of concept; however they had a few budget constraints to implement. That and also our SAP partnership didn't work out as well so we couldn't go forward,A great platform for developers to use HANA in a accessible format without the cost implementation..
Availability of predictive analtyics , geo-spatial and text analytics
Very good for POCs for SME,It would be great if IDES systems are available in SAP HANA Express edition continuously, this will help developers a lot. The market has a lot of pirate servers available eating in to the market of SAP. SAP has to consider that
Offerings for SME in T shirt sizes would be great,8,As of now we have not had any ROI,,Azure SQL Database, Tableau Desktop, Salesforce Community Cloud,4Ganapathy SivakumarSAP HANA Express Edition for Real time business with in-memory feature2018-02-09T17:50:49.548ZWe were having a lot of customization issues processing integrating services for different data types to get the analytic reports. After we started to use HANA Express Edition, much of the functionalities like advances analytic, data processing, with numerous data structure with built-in app services were enabled. The part we liked best is its community support and the flexibility of memory usages with much less administrative work.,The best part I would recommend is the real-time analytic reports
As compare to traditional DBs, this edition is tremendous faster, easier, quick to learn
Very good for our data load in few of the traditional DBs, with which we use our SAP Lumira, Web IDE, Also its flexible to integrate with 3rd party software like Tableau
Personally, I like the best part is can load on our personal laptop, desktop with no special appliance restriction like most HANA DBs does, easy to setup and quick in resulting in real-time results.,I would be more than happy if normal users like me which work on test data can get the system of min 64GB at no charge.. :)
One of feature I would like to behave with it is smart data integration,,It has more effective features like -
predictive analytics,real-time result,different graphical features no limitation of hardware resource like certified HANA applianceflexibility for developers with a huge set of capabilitythe naming convensions of above list itself explains the featurs are much adoptable for HANA express edition users..,10,As per my current usages I have not yet to come across much with a negative impact, but for sure Positive impact is consultant, developers are being got addicted to using this Edition of HANA due to its user friendly trending features and also the best part is with newer versions we are getting more and more features which is definitely a positive impact,SAP HANA, Microsoft SQL Server, DB2 and MaxDB,Microsoft SQL Server, DB2, Sybase Replication Server, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Warehouse, SAP CRM, SAP Business Objects Data Quality Management,10Pradeep BeleHANA Express2018-02-07T19:17:30.962ZWe use SAP HANA Express in the following ways:
1.) As a sandbox to prove the value provided by the underlying technology to answer real business questions and solve business problems.
2.) SAP HANA express was used to prove the business case and lead to the purchase of a full-scale HANA appliance.
3.) As an environment where developers can explore the functionality provided by HANA,Very fast query response times due to in-memory architecture
Virtualized data architecture via connectivity to other databases and data sources
Column store and Efficient compression of data
Integration with R server from the database,No first line support from SAP,HANA Express allows very fast response times on complex granular queries. Analytical users are now able to complete analysis that used to take 4 - 5 days on the old RDBMS in 4 hours. Business can also see data in a near-real-time fashion as they do not have to wait for time-consuming summarization processes to run each day.,10,Data Analysts are able to complete their analysis much faster (4 hours vs 4 - 5 days)
Resource intensive summarization processes could be decommissioned as the data can be stored at the lowest grain. This saves on resource/licensing costs and gives the business near real-time access to their data.,oracle express, sql server developer edition and Cloudera,SAP Lumira, Oracle Database 12c, Eclipse,10Verified User

It's great for your developers to play around and learn the intricacies of the HANA Application. The best part is developers would be able to get familiarized with HANA Admin and it would be a great opportunity for SAP to expand its market in India. It is not suited for SME that are looking for production deployment due to the restriction of the DB size.

We were having a lot of customization issues processing integrating services for different data types to get the analytic reports. After we started to use HANA Express Edition, much of the functionalities like advances analytic, data processing, with numerous data structure with built-in app services were enabled. The part we liked best is its community support and the flexibility of memory usages with much less administrative work.

For huge data set with some fuzzy uncommon and unusual search kind of features is less appropriate like in many places for finance related stuff from the developer point of view. Its very well suited to create a POC for demo purpose even though for production use purpose, the coding with HANA is really fast and quick resulting turn with an expected format

Well suited:Existing Business Intelligence solutions running on other relational databases that do not make use of in-memory and columnar store technologies. Environments where developers want to run a copy of the database on their laptop.
